Jiang Yi was taken aback and asked quickly, “What happened to Yuyun?”

Su Yanyan’s eyes filled with tears and she opened her mouth to tell her mother, but eventually changed her mind at the last minute. “Nothing is wrong. He is simply too busy and has no time to accompany me at all. That’s why I lost my temper just now.”

“Yanyan!” Jiang Yi heaved a huge sigh of relief, then chided her daughter: “How many times have I told you that Yuyun has just taken on the position of general manager of the company? It’s only natural for him to be focused on his business and career first. After all, a man should always put his career first. As his wife, you should be more considerate and not lose your temper or upset him. Do you understand me?”

“I understand,” Su Yanyan replied miserably as she wiped the tears off her face.

At the Su family villa, at night.

After they had finished dinner, Su Xueqin took out a bank card and said, “Wanwan, take this.”

Su Yuntang immediately asked, “Dad, what are you doing?”

Although he really hated his own daughter, he had always been responsible for all of her affairs, including her monthly living expenses.

Su Xueqin glared at him before growling, “Do I need your permission to buy a car for my granddaughter?”

Buy a car?

Even Su Wanwan was stunned.

After forcing the bank card into her hand, Su Xueqin said, “Go to the car dealership tomorrow with Uncle Zhou and pick a car that you like. Make sure that you take driving classes and get your driver’s license before school starts. Take it as your twentieth birthday present from your grandfather.”

Jiang Yi frowned unhappily.

Su Yanyan had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday. She would only celebrate her coming-of-age ceremony once in a lifetime, but Su Xueqin did not say anything at all during that time. Although it was probably because he was angry at Xing Yuyun at the time, the difference in his treatment towards Su Wanwan and Su Yanyan was simply too much!

“Thank you for remembering my birthday, Grandpa.” Su Wanwan smiled happily, and unconsciously glanced at Su Yanyan from the corner of her eye.

As expected, the expression on the her sister’s face was extremely nasty.

Su Yuntang was very unsatisfied and protested, “Dad, she is still young. Buying a car is-”

“That’s enough!” Su Xueqin cut him off impatiently. “I am already tired. Wanwan, push me back to my bedroom.”

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Su Wanwan chatted with her grandfather in his bedroom for a short while. As Su Wanwan was returning to the living room, she heard Aunty Yang call out, “Eldest young lady, there is a phone call for you!”

It was a phone call from Mo Weiyi, asking to accompany her to watch a movie to celebrate her birthday.

It was already past seven o’clock at night.

“Where is your husband?”

Mo Weiyi could also be considered rebellious before she got married. However, after getting married, Xiao Yebai was quite strict with her and she was generally not allowed to go out alone at night.

“Something urgent came up at the hotel in Jiangcheng, so Xiaobai will only be able to come back tomorrow. This is a golden opportunity, so just accompany me to go out and have some fun!”

So that was the case.

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan went upstairs.

She was originally planning to change out of her clothes, but besides the clothes that she was wearing now and the dress that Mo Weiyi had lent her, her closet was filled with all her strange clothes from two years ago.

Her rebellious and frivolous past seemed so childish now!

Forget it.

Su Wanwan let down her long hair, put on some light make up, and headed downstairs.

Su Yuntang came out of the study room with a newspaper in his hand. When he saw her leaving in a hurry, he scowled and asked, “It is already so late at night, why are you going out again?”

“Meeting friends.”

“How many times have I told you not to mix with those useless people? Have you forgotten that you have been arrested before? You did it before and you want to do it again now that you are back? Were all of your previous lessons not enough?”

Su Wanwan widened her beautiful eyes, and asked innocently, “Isn’t Deputy Director Su here? Weren’t you the one who used to bail me out every time in the past? What’s the matter, have you been demoted? You can’t afford to bail me out anymore?”

Although the Su family was not as famous as the other big families in Nanchang, they were still considered a pretty reputable family.

Su Xueqin was a veteran director who had retired from the television station. He had worked in the media industry for decades and had numerous contacts and connections.

Su Yuntang had taken up the position of deputy director at the Radio and Television Administration two years ago. It would not be that difficult for him to bail someone out, right?

“You!” Su Yuntang was infuriated by her nonchalant attitude, and was clearly about to lose his temper.

“That’s enough, Yuntang.” Jiang Yi hurriedly grabbed her husband’s arm before murmuring softly, “Wanwan will be twenty years old after today. Don’t worry, she is not a teenager anymore. She is already a sensible adult and will not do all those silly things anymore.”

Su Wanwan glanced at her icily.

Would Jiang Yi die if she did not bring up Su Wanwan’s past?

Jiang Yi just smiled and said gently, “Wanwan, why don’t you ask the driver to send you there? Come home early after the gathering is over.”

Su Wanwan could not be bothered with her, and simply turned around and left.

***

The place she was supposed to meet Mo Weiyi at was called Guidi, which was located in the center of Nanchang.

Su Wanwan had not been back in China for two years, and Nanchang had changed a lot in that time.

After getting out of the car, Su Wanwan looked at the private club that was mysteriously alluring at night, slightly embarrassed.

She initially thought that this was the name of a movie theater.

After mentioning Mo Weiyi’s name, Su Wanwan followed the waiter all the way through the lobby and into the elevator as they went straight up to the sixth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Mo Weiyi was standing there, waiting for her.

“Happy birthday, Wanwan!”

One of them was very glamorous and gorgeous, and the other was very cute and charming. The both of them immediately attracted a lot of attention.

At that moment, Huo Zexi who was seated on the sofa in the corner was holding a wine glass in his hand as he stared straight ahead.

After the two girls entered their private room, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A waiter came over immediately. “Young Master Huo.”

“I want you to deliver this drink to that long-haired chick later.” After that, he lowered his voice as he said, “Just tell her that it is a free gift from the club tonight.”

“Okay, Young Master Huo.”
